It is wet prairie and cypress swamp primarily. Here is where the wet prairie abuts the cypress swamp. (Photo by zanna.)

We found a motionless frog resting near the boardwalk. We suspect is is a pig frog, though it could also be a bullfrog. (Photo by quoderat.)

There was also a small alligator near the staff boat launch area. (Photo by quoderat.)
